Shenandoah –Traditional. Arranged and amended with additional lyrics by Joanne Rand 2007

…and so the white man fled
And his canoe was laden
And he hung his head
With his heart forsaken
Because of a father’s pride
The white man learned to hide his heart
Because of a father’s greed
The land began to bleed
And the white mans race
Grubbed for gold all over the place
And he tore the land
He did not understand that
Power does not lie
In the things that gold and silver can buy
Power cannot be
In the thin wires of electricity
It’s in a river flowing free
It’s in a river flowing free
To the sea.
